BATON ROUGE – After combining for 23 semifinalists into the 2014 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships with their efforts at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds last weekend, the Tigers and Lady Tigers have remained among the Top 10 teams in the country in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association power rankings released Tuesday.

The Tigers are on the cusp of a Top 5 national ranking after emerging from the competition in Jacksonville, Florida, with 10 NCAA semifinalists to help them move up two spots in this week’s Top 25 power ranking as the No. 6-ranked team in the country. The Lady Tigers will feature 13 NCAA semifinalists of their own as they dropped two spots to the No. 8-ranked women’s team nationally this week.

They will wrap up the 2014 season in the semifinal and final rounds of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships to be held June 11-14 at Oregon’s Hayward Field in Eugene.
